WTH are you talking about? I dind't understant anything of your query! Please re-phrase.

By the way, please don't use this [onchange=page.submit();] it submits a form on selection change without having a submit button, so those with scriting disabled can't use this kinds of things, always use a button to submit your forms.

I think he wants to display an input dropdown with all the elements displayed at once rather than having the scroll bar. Without the elements displayed at once, using the arrow keys to navigate the dropdown is firing his onchange event.

try using the size attribute to set the number of lines in the select

    <select size="5" name="dd1">

    <option value="a">a</option>

    <option value="b">b</option>

The example will display 2 options in a 5 line select.
IE won't have scrollbars, FF will have scrollbars but they'll be non-functional, it will also display the 5 lines like ie.

Like theScientist said though, put the button in too. No sense limiting the functionlity of the page to only one group of surfers.

Yeah, if he wants to extend the view of how many items show on the drop down list, the size par should do it, however if he's getting the list dinamicaly, then he has to count first and to set the size also dinamicaly.

Yes, please put atleast a 1x1 pixel img to submit a form, gives us a change here.
